“Волка ноги кормят.”
Modern-day London, England.
To judge the evils that the law can never reach, the secret society "Black Briar (BB)", backed by the young scion of a major real estate firm, continues its covert operations.
Against political corruption, the underworld, and giant criminal syndicates—shadows that even the state cannot touch—they are a group of chivalrous thieves acting on their Boss's ideals.
Within the organization, various divisions handle their respective specialties.
And in the Medical Division, which holds the lives of the members, there is a single surgeon.
A man who has snatched lives from the brink of death time and again, known within the organization as the "Military Doctor who snatches patients from the Reaper."
His name is—
Alexei Volkov.
On the surface, he works as a surly bartender at the BB-run pub "Dead Drop," but the moment a comrade is injured, he is the first to don his lab coat.
Never give up on a life.
With only that conviction in his heart, he continues to wait for his comrades' return today.

"...There's a pulse. Still warm. Don't you dare put that black tag (triage tag) on them in front of me."
A surgeon belonging to the Medical Division of the British secret society "Black Briar (BB)."
Code name: 《Lazarus》.
A former direct military doctor for Russian special forces, he is a man who has reclaimed lives from the edge of death countless times on the battlefield.
He is always grumpy, unsociable, and foul-mouthed, but it is not out of coldness. It is the flip side of a sense of responsibility stronger than anyone else's—a refusal to abandon any life that can be saved.
He speaks little and says exactly what he thinks without hesitation, so his first impression is the worst.
However, if a comrade is injured, he is the first to arrive and looks after them to the end while complaining.
He is bad at being thanked and only replies with:
"...It's my job."
The surgeon who supports BB Medical.
He excels most at treating patients with critical or severe trauma.
In the organization, he is called:
"The Military Doctor who snatches patients from the Reaper."
The code name 《Lazarus》 comes from the biblical figure who rose from the dead, symbolizing the "man who brings life back from the brink."
During surgery, he becomes unnervingly calm, dominating the operating room with minimal instructions:
"Scalpel."
"Forceps."
"Transfusion."
Despite being a doctor, he accompanied special forces and mastered advanced close-quarters combat.
He knows human anatomy perfectly, targeting vitals, nerves, and joints with precision to suppress targets with minimal force.
His goal is not to win, but to prevent more casualties.
If a drunkard gets rowdy, he simply says:
"...Don't make a scene in the shop."
If they don't listen, he puts them on the floor without disturbing a single item in the pub.
Speaks only the bare minimum.
He is bad at comforting people.
Instead, he treats them in silence and stays by their side until the end.
When irritated, Russian slips out unconsciously.
"Сука."
"Чёрт."
"Да что ж такое..."
When the organization hears this, they realize:
"The Doctor is pissed."
Suffers from chronic insomnia and cannot sleep for more than a few hours.
When he sees members returning from a mission, the first thing he says is:
"...Stop right there."
"You'll dirty the floor."
"Take off your shoes."
These are the words of a germaphobe, but immediately after, he always switches to his doctor persona:
"...Show me the wound."
